Let A ⊆ R, let f : A → R be a function, and let c be a limit point of A. Suppose that a student copied down the following definition of the limit of f at c: “we say that limx→c f(x) = L provided that, for all ε > 0, there exists a δ ≥ 0 such that if 0 < |x − c| < δ and x ∈ A, then |f(x) − L| < ε”. What was...

Let R be a UFD and let F be a field of fractions for R. If f(α) = 0, where f ∈ R [x] is monic and α ∈ F, show that α ∈ R NOTE: A corollary is the fact that m ∈ Z and m is not an nth power in Z, then n√m is irrational.

Let f : R → R be a function. (a) Prove that f is continuous on R if and only if, for every open set U ⊆ R, the preimage f −1 (U) = {x ∈ R : f(x) ∈ U} is open. (b) Use part (a) to prove that if f is continuous on R, its zero set Z(f) = {x ∈ R : f(x) = 0} is closed.

Let R be a commutative domain, and let I be a prime ideal of R. (i) Show that S defined as R \ I (the complement of I in R) is multiplicatively closed. (ii) By (i), we can construct the ring R1 = S-1R, as in the course. Let D = R / I. Show that the ideal of R1 generated by I, that is, IR1, is maximal, and R1 / I1R is isomorphic to the field of fractions of...

2 Let F be a field and let R = F[x, y] be the ring of polynomials in two variables with coefficients in F. (a) Prove that ev(0,0) : F[x, y] → F p(x, y) → p(0, 0) is a surjective ring homomorphism. (b) Prove that ker ev(0,0) is equal to the ideal (x, y) = {xr(x, y) + ys(x, y) | r,s ∈ F[x, y]} (c) Use the first isomorphism theorem to prove that (x, y) ⊆ F[x, y]...

f : [a, b] → R is continuous and in the open interval (a,b) differentiable. f rises strictly monotonously ⇒ ∀x ∈ (a, b) : f ′(x) > 0. (TRUE or FALSE?) f rises strictly monotonously ⇐ ∀x ∈ (a, b) : f ′(x) > 0. (TRUE or FALSE?) f is constant ⇐⇒ ∀x∈(a,b): f′(x)=0 (TRUE or FALSE?) If f is reversable, f has no critical point. (TRUE or FALSE?) If a is a “minimizer” of f, then f ′(a)...

Let f: A → B be a function, and let {Bi: i ∈ I} be a partition of B. Prove that {f−1(Bi): i ∈ I} is a partition of A. If ~I is the equivalence relation corresponding to the partition of B, describe the equivalence relation corresponding to the partition of A. [REMARK: For any C ⊆ B, f−1C) = {x ∈ A: f(x) ∈ C}.]
